St. George's Hospital
-
Description
-
Full photograph of St. George's Contagious Disease Hospital which was built on a barge in 1889. The boat was hauled to the shore near the Monarch Vinegar Works to have the bottom caulked. An island in the Missouri River used for the quarantine and treatment of smallpox patients known as "Pest House Island" had been destroyed by flooding in 1887, and residents subsequently protested the construction of an inland facility on Raytown Road. The "floating pest house" pictured was used as a replacement. Man on the end at the left of the barge is Keeper, James McLain. Others identified in the photograph are Charles Miller, Albert, Charles Brewer, and W.S. White.
